Loch Ailort, Sea inlet in Highland, Scotland.
Loch Ailort extends 8.1 kilometers inland, featuring the Ardnish Peninsula to the north and Moidart Peninsula to the south, with depths reaching 43 meters.
During World War II, Inverailort House near Loch Ailort served as a military training facility before becoming HMS Lochailort for Royal Navy cadet preparation.
The waters and shores of Loch Ailort have appeared in several films, including Local Hero and Breaking the Waves, representing Scottish coastal landscapes.
Visitors can access Loch Ailort via the Lochailort railway station on the West Highland Line or by taking the Road to the Isles between Fort William and Mallaig.
The loch contains multiple islands, including Eilean nan Gobhar, which features ancient vitrified forts dating back to prehistoric settlements in the region.
